  2. how to keep W7 start menu pinned items when upgrading to W10

    Hi,
    Sorry for the late reply.

    Answer for your question, “Windows 7 ability to pin recent opened items in jump lists is the fastest way to access your most used stuff, is this feature discontinued in W10?” “YES”

    You have an option to pin the recent opened items in the jump lists. Windows 10 allows you to display the recent items starting from number 0 to 60. You can choose any number as per your preference and then you will be able to see that number of recent
    items on your Jump Lists. To quickly open any program, you can also use Quick Access on Windows 10.

    It shows you the list of lately and repeatedly opened, mostly visited, tasks or pinned items of any pinned program or currently active program on the Taskbar. When you make a right click on any pinned item on the Taskbar or on any running program, you can
    see a list of certain items. Those items are different for files, folders, and websites. The pinned and recent items are visible in case of folders. You are also provided with the facility to pin the recent items. And the Jump Lists of file show you the recently
    used file along with an option to pin them to the taskbar. But the websites have different sections like most visited, recently closed, and tasks.


    Note: The number of Jump Lists on windows 10 is 10 by default.

    If you are facing issue with jump list/ or you want to have more than 10 jump list to be view on windows 10 after upgrading, I suggest you to follow the steps below to change the settings.
    How to Show Jump Lists on Start and Taskbar in Windows 10

    1. Enter into the Settings app from the polished Start Menu.

    2. Upon the emergence of the Settings app, click Personalization symbol.

    3. Go to the last option on the left column and click Start.

    4. The Start on the right pane showcases four option. Read the last one, Show recently opened items in Jump Lists on Start or Taskbar.

    5. To Show Jump Lists on Start and Taskbar in Windows 10, toggle it to On.

    6. Now, right click on any opened program on Taskbar and you can see the Jump Lists.

    7. On Start Menu, click on the arrow next to the program and its displays you the Jump Lists.

    8. If you prefer not to see the Jump Lists, toggle it to off in the Start of Personalization category of Settings app.

    9. Execute a right click on a program on Taskbar and you can no more see the Jump Lists items.

    10. And have the option of changing the Jump lists ON or OFF.

    Hope this information is more helpful. Please do let us know if

    Thank you.

    Feature suggestion: Add right-click menu

    Suggestion: Please add a Windows 7 Jump-List and/or right-click menu to the GPU-Z icon in the Windows taskbar. Possible menus in it would be "Exit" and "About GPU-Z...".
    Maybe also "Switch to tab 1/Switch to tab 2/Switch to videocard 1/Switch to videocard 2" too.
    Examples of programs that have such menus are ICQ, Skype, AIM.

    NOTE: It seems for a right-click menu, Windows 7 is not needed - it works on WinXP and Vista too.
    But even a Windows 7 Jump-list may be good enough.
    What do you think?

    Windows 11 Taskbar: Settings to Mimic Windows 10?

    Feature request for Windows 11 Taskbar and Start to mimic Windows 10.

    A simple toggle in settings to switch from Windows 11 Taskbar and Start to Windows 10.

    • Make customization options options available after selecting Windows 10 "Classic" Taskbar and Start:
      • Never Combine Buttons
      • Use small taskbar buttons
      • Position Taskbar: Left, Right, Top, Bottom
      • Drag to resize Taskbar
      • Pin
      • The full Taskbar slide out menu
      • 2-column Start menu
      • and so on...
    Third party software and registry tweaks can restore all of the Windows 10 Taskbar and Start features. It seems that Microsoft, as the "parent" of Windows, should be able to provide the same capability.
